List of countries and dependencies by area

This is a list of the world's countries and their dependent territories by area, ranked by total area.

Entries in this list, include, but are not limited to, those in the ISO standard 3166-1, which includes sovereign states and dependent territories. Largely unrecognised states not in
ISO 3166-1 are included in the list in ranked order, but are not given a rank number. The areas of such largely unrecognised states are in most cases also included in the areas of the
more widely recognised states that claim the same territory; see the notes in the "Notes" column for each country for clarification.

Not included in the list are individual country claims to parts of the continent of Antarctica, entities such as the European Union[Note 1] that have some degree of sovereignty

Notes
1. The European Union is a unique supranational union. It covers a total area of
4,479,968 km2 (1,729,725 sq mi),[1] and would be ranked 7th if it were included
(3.0% of world's total land area).
2. The figure shown does not include the area of Crimea (27,000 km2 or
10,000 sq mi), de facto controlled by Russia, claimed by Ukraine.
3. The following countries have territorial claims in Antarctica: Argentina (969,000 km2
or 374,000 sq mi), Australia (5,896,500 km2 or 2,276,700 sq mi), Chile
(1,250,000 km2 or 480,000 sq mi), France (432,000 km2 or 167,000 sq mi), New
Zealand (450,000 km2 or 170,000 sq mi), Norway (2,500,000 km2 or
970,000 sq mi) and United Kingdom (1,395,000 km2 or 539,000 sq mi), which to
some extent overlap. The area from 90°W (https://tools.wmflabs.org/geohack/geoh
ack.php?pagename=List_of_countries_and_dependencies_by_area&params=60_0
_S_90_0_W_) to 150°W (https://tools.wmflabs.org/geohack/geohack.php?pagenam
e=List_of_countries_and_dependencies_by_area&params=60_0_S_150_0_W_)
(2,100,000 km2 or 810,000 sq mi) is currently unclaimed territory. These areas
usually have no human inhabitants, excluding scientists.

4. The following two primary sources (non-mirrored) represent the range (min./max.)
of total area for China and the United States. Both sources (1) exclude Taiwan from
the area of China; (2) exclude China's coastal and territorial waters However, the
CIA World Factbook includes the United States coastal and territorial waters, while
Encyclopædia Britannica excludes the United States coastal and territorial waters.
1. The Encyclopædia Britannica lists China as world's third-largest country (after
Russia and Canada) with a total area of 9,572,900 sq km,[6] and the United
States as fourth-largest at 9,525,067 sq km.[7]
2. The CIA World Factbook lists China as fourth-largest country (after Russia,
Canada and the United States) with a total area of 9,596,960 sq km,[8] and the
United States as the third-largest at 9,833,517 sq km.[9]
Notably, Encyclopædia Britannica specifies the United States' area (excluding
coastal and territorial waters) as 9,525,067 sq km, which is less than either source's
figure given for China's area.[7] Therefore, while it can be determined that China
has a larger area excluding coastal and territorial waters, it is unclear which country
has a larger area including coastal and territorial waters.
United Nations Statistics Division's figure for the United States is 9,833,517 sq km
and China is 9,596,961 sq km. These closely match the CIA World Factbook
figures and similarly include coastal and territorial waters for the United States, but
exclude coastal and territorial waters for China.
Further explanation of disputed ranking: The dispute for world's third-largest country
arose from the inclusion of coastal and territorial waters for the United States. This
discrepancy was deduced from comparing the CIA World Factbook and its previous
iterations[10] against the information for United States on Encyclopædia Britannica,
particularly its footnote section.[7] In sum, according to older versions of the CIA
World Factbook (from 1982 to 1996), the US was listed as the world's fourth-largest
country (after Russia, Canada, and China) with a total area of 9,372,610 sq km.
However, in the 1997 edition, the US added coastal waters to its total area
(increasing it to 9,629,091 sq km). And then again in 2007, US added territorial
water to its total area (increasing it to 9,833,517 sq km). During this time, China's
total area remained unchanged. In other words, no coastal or territorial water area
was added to China's total area figure. The United States has a coastal water area
of 109,362 sq km, and a territorial water area of 195,213 sq km, for a total of
304,575 sq km of additional water space. This is larger than entire countries like
Italy, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. Adding this figure to the US will boost
it over China in ranking since China's coastal and territorial water figures are
currently unknown (no official publication) and thus cannot be added into China's
total area figure.

reports the total as 643,801 km2 (248,573 sq mi).[1] Another source, the French
National Institute for Statistics and Economic Studies, gives an area figure of
632,759 km2 (244,310 sq mi).[20] (The CIA gives a water area of metropolitan
France as 1,530 km2 (590 sq mi).)

Island (243 km2 or 94 sq mi).
25. May or may not include the Galápagos Islands (7,880 km2or 3,040 sq mi). The
2007 data,[13] as well as the current data given by the CIA, explicitly includes the
Galápagos and gives the figure as 283,561 km2 (109,484 sq mi).[1]
26. The total area figure is that reported by the National Institute of Statistics and
Demography of Burkina Faso (INSD).[22] The water area is that reported by the
Food and Agriculture Organization[23] and the land area is taken to be the
difference between these two figures.
27. The government gives the total figure as 266,838 square kilometres
(103,027 sq mi).[24] CIA World Factbook has total/land area of 267,710 km2

2005.[26] The water area is that reported by the Food and Agriculture
Organization[27] and the land area is the difference between these two figures,
rounded to the nearest square kilometre.
34. The figure shown includes the area of Kosovo and Metohija, which is de facto
independent from Serbia as the Republic of Kosovo (10,887 km2 or 4,203 sq mi).
